Fun for all ages at Build-A-Bear

Back in March, I attended the Disney Social Media Moms conference in Orlando. I heard Maxine Clark, CEO of Build-A-Bear speak. I have to admit, I didn’t know much about the company. For starters, I thought it was only for girls – which it’s most definitely not.

But the moment Maxine Clark started speaking, I was completely engaged. I was so intrigued and knew I’d want to take my boys to a local Build-A-Bear when we got home.

We finally went yesterday and had so much fun. The people who worked at the store were enthusiastic and my boys had a blast.

Stuffing the bear

I love this one. He's sending a message to the heart. Or something? Closed eyes and all.

Cleaning the bear. They had lots of fun here.

Dressing the Peace & Hugs bear in the Darth Vader costume. Irony most definitely lost on the excited 3-year-old.

The finished bears. "Eagle" and "Darth Vader"

Both of my boys are already asking when they can go back — and if they can have their birthday parties there. And I can’t believe I’m admitting this, but the entire process was so fun, it almost made me want to make a bear. I admitted this to the woman helping us and she said they recently had a 21 year old birthday party/group of girls there before they hit the town. Corny or fun? You decide.

The boys are adorable and handsome too. No wonder Kenzie wants more “drop off” playdates with them ðŸ™‚ We’ve done it 2x with Kenzie and both were super memorable and thrilling experiences for her. So much fun for mom too and a great way to make a memory. Totally not corny!
